Attacking field sobriety tests: These tests are subjective, and oftentimes unfair. Unless performed properly, these tests are subject to attack as being unreliable and difficult for most people to perform even under ideal conditions.

Challenging the admissibility of breath tests: Breath tests must be administered by a trained officer, on a machine that is tested for accuracy and in the methods required by the Department of Health.

Attacking the basis for traffic stops: The police must have reasonable suspicion that a driver committed a crime or traffic infraction before they perform an investigatory traffic stop.

Using videotape evidence. Often any video take at the scene of the arrest or the police station helps a defendant charged with DUI. These videos typically show that the officer made numerous mistakes in administering the field sobriety tests, that the tests were done under unfair and difficult conditions and that the motorist appeared to have good balance and normal communication skills.
